The most weirdest and intriguing book I have ever read. I couldn't put it down and completed in one day. 
From the first page, the writing style keep me hooked and immersed. 
The ending is absolute blast.

Yes, more dark academia where the academia is the darkness, not just the setting!

This was different. I’m still kind of confused, but it wasn’t bad.

I haven't finished Vita Nostra yet, but so far, I've never read a more amazing book.

I gave it a good go, but after about 40% of the novel read, I just did not care about Sasha or the weird circumstances she found herself in. The pacing was so slow. Maybe that’s a fault in translation. Regardless, I found myself dreading picking it up again, knowing I had so much novel to go through. I kept waiting for things to “get good,” for some sense to be made from the plot, but they didn’t and it didn’t.

Life’s too short to read boring books. So. Onto another!
